Vovchansk Raion ({{Langx|uk|Вовчанський район}}) was a raion (district) in Kharkiv Oblast of Ukraine. Its administrative center was the town of Vovchansk. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kharkiv Oblast to seven. The area of Vovchansk Raion was, together with Pechenihy and Zmiiv Raions, merged into Chuhuiv Raion.[https://m.glavcom.ua/publications/kudi-znikayut-rayoni-pislyamova-do-guchnoji-reformi-zelenskogo-697326.html Where did 354 districts disappear to?
